You know it's high quality when the paint is coming off the plastic.
Thinking the same thing
this is the stuff of dreams
The paint came off of my joycons after only a week of playing with the d-pad
My favorite thing is when plastic clips break and your screwed

You know it’s “quality” when they make spelling errors on the box or products.
@@Maxwellcoolguy sync was misspelled on the back of the controller
Something about this screams "OUYA"
It really does
From someone who had it I definitely agree
It’s the faceplates that get me
I think this would be good for emulation tbh
Agree

it's a very good idea executed poorly
cakeface it’s pretty obvious
My first unbiased impression: "Nope"...
I've been gaming long enough to SEE obvious flaws in a controller, I don't need this in hand to tell it's complete garbo... lol...
It's pretty obvious with these kinds of controllers from low-budget companies.

You don’t need to be a cook to tell that something tastes bad
@@shinji2898 that's a dumb analogy cuz the cook is the one that would make the controller.
Ok, in a way, u do make this controller. Sortof.
You know it’s high quality when there’s a “SNYC” button
Lol, I didn't notice it was misspelled good looks. That's really funny someone making this didn't notice it. Guess it's a Chinese or Korean company and they have no idea.

In Europe we also had the convex and colored buttons so they aren't wrong calling it SNES Design. At least for Europe. :D

the sync button actually says SNYC lol great quality there!
Haha! Nice one! 😃 I didn’t notice that myself, when I watched this video for the first time.
Lmao it actually does
Came here for this.
Mr Koosher Shut up I snyc my controller up everytime.
Iiterally snyckering rn
This had a lot of potential, too, but that many changes of faces, something is bound to stop clicking into place.
Hey its you! Your videos are great man. You're the guy who convinced me to back the NES Maker kickstarter. I think I'd buy this controller but only ever leave the n64 buttons on it, because for some reason it's really hard to find a Bluetooth controller with 6 buttons on the front and shoulder buttons enough to be able to emulate n64 games properly. Though I've only really searched Amazon so far
@Lassi Kinnunen the analogue triggers wouldn't have done anything though.
JohnRiggs
I'd rather just have five controllers that mimic each layout of retro controllers. I get it, this is made for the virtual console, but I'd still rather have five separate controllers. Maybe that's just me, plus, I breed dogs and I know a child in my house would leave a faceplate or button Pad and it'd be chewed to pieces.
@@wschippr1 well they just announced NES joycons that only have 2 buttons.
An official Nintendo controller with the interchangeable faces would be sweet IMO.
Nice review. I understand why you reviewed it as a switch controller and I think the points you made are pretty solid when seen from that perspective.
I think the concept behind the controller is better tailored to an all-in-one emulation controller though, whether they intended it as such or not. It makes more sense to buy this for PC than for the switch.
It's a shame the controller falls short in its execution, because I really admire the concept. I guess I won't be ditching my Mayflash adapter and 8bitdo controller anytime soon.
I was literally thinking this would be amazing for emulators if it didn't have that ridge.
Correction: In PAL regions the SNES style buttons were coloured. So saying these were Super Famicom buttons and not SNES style buttons was incorrect. The point I made of the SNES buttons being useless as they are no different from the base buttons still stands. North American SNES buttons are different shapes. Also, the company who designed this controller was from California and it was marketed for North American audiences. So they were incorrect in calling it an SNES style layout for that market. This is also marketed as a Nintendo Switch controller (listed right on the box) and not a PC controller. It has functions that will not work on PC and only on Switch.
Another Update: It was mentioned several times that this would be a good PC Controller. Unfortunately the additional buttons from certain setups DO NOT register as individual buttons on PC. This controller identifies itself as a Switch Pro Controller on PC and is limited to that original layout. Extra buttons (like the N64 layout) are treated as duplicates or cloned function buttons. Also the analog triggers DO NOT register as analog inputs on the PC due to the original driver not supporting it.
I'm glad you made this clarification because my nerd rage was building...
Great review!
It's probably because they're from California, let's be honest.
I was about tot say it XD but once i saw both versions ( pal and USA) i was quite shocked! :0
Gosh darnit 😂 just about to rant about europe/pal. I'm glad you didn't big this up, I really like it, but if it's shite, it's shite. I'll stick to my sf30 pro ☺
Yeah like FourEyedGeek said that was about to make me REEEEEEE haha
Nintendo should take this idea and make it better
they DID! nes controllers are joycons now!
Or any good gaming company
Maybe if they actually put older games on the Switch(or, hell, even PC/mobile) and didn't tie them to a subscription fee.
Hell, I'd invest into the idea if I knew how to get a better quality manufacturer
Gamecube controller, split it in half, connect them to the switch.
"SNYC" button lol
Anyone miss SNYC, errrm, I mean Snick???
Super NewYork city
Ohh my God lol I still read it as Sync.. but turns out they spelled it wrong
Is Sync Button
"The switch doesn't use the triggers"
*3 months later*
Smash comes out
Smash doesn't use analog triggers either.
We all know Trials Rising needs to have analogs.
Idk what you mean, botw used the triggers as well right?
@@sivertmyhrvold1551 but not analogue triggers. but digital, aka "pressed or not pressed" analouge means it can tell how much it is pressed
the argument and many other are obsolete anyway since it's also a controller for the pc
Rerez: wtf is up with this famicom snes controller
Me from England: everything is fine
He fuckin knows. He said it should have the snes style concave buttons to differentiate it from the ABXY buttons. He didn't say that it's not SNES style ffs He said they should have used the North American buttons
They’ve got a great concept. Just needs some more quality control and design
glad I could complete the 111
In Europe, SNES design is just like the Super Famicom...so they didn t lie.
It's not just Europe, it's like that in ALL of the PAL regions.
Everywhere except North America where they got a shitty looking controller and console. This happened because the biggest fault of the NES hardware in America was the stupidity of Americans. Most of the NES consoles sent in for repair had liquid damage due to idiots balancing their drinks on it. Thus, when they localised the SNES they made sure to change the design. Not sure why they used Parma Violets as an inspiration, but there you go.
@@EpicEmberOriginal in Brazil the SNES looked like the US version, and it was manufactured locally, so it's more than the NA, even though Brazil was PAL-M region
@ CrAzYgIrL The PAL regions got the same NES design, if you'll recall. Europeans and Australians are no smarter than we are, I'm sure there were plenty of similar incidents in the PAL regions. At any rate, it was mostly CHILDREN doing it, not adults that should know better. It's true that the North American SNES case was redesigned for that reason, but the PAL regions getting the same case as Japan has nothing to do with them being smarter, it was simply a cheap way to implement a region lock. You can run Japanese games on a North American console with a simple case mod because they're both NTSC and the smaller Japanese cartridges fit in the NA system's slot, but you can't jam a North American cart in a PAL SNES (and even if you could, you'd still have to install a frequency switch) because the cartridge slot is too small. If PAL gamers were going to import NTSC games from any region (which were often released months before the PAL version and/or at considerably lower price), Nintendo wanted to make sure they weren't going to be able to play them on their PAL systems without voiding the warranty.
Oh yeah, I think I read that somewhere before. I wonder why Brazil got a mashup of the two?
I saw this at a Media Center for $70 yesterday. Glad I didn't pick it up. Thanks for the review. Saved me a $70 mistake.
That controller looks like a discount Xbox elite controller that tried to be quirky as a cover up for it's uselessness
looks more like a switch pro controller that tried to be quirky as a cover up for it's shoddiness but sure
ACTUALLY the super nintendo in Europe was the same as the super famicom. So it is actually a super nintendo layout
The european looks better also
All the world got a snes identical to sfc, sometimes NA people still belive they are the center of the world.
Exactly this, pretty frustrating, you would think that at least the bigger gaming channels on TH-cam would know this stuff, guess i'm wrong. But still a good review by Rerez.
I think it is just bad wording from rerez and he knows that US SNES is unique
His ignorance is quite surprising, I did not expect that from him.
Ehh. PAL SNES had the same controller design for the face buttons as the Japanese, so it not really wrong to say that its SNES style
I love how you have no ads. I subscribed just because of that. Thanks for not being lame and adding 8+ ads to your videos.
"check out this cool new controller"
>proceeds to list for 10 minutes why this controller sucks
Cool does not equal good. For example, I think 1 2 Switch is a cool concept, but the game sucked
Nice animorphs reference in the thumbnail
That is an SNES type controller, a PAL one.
BoLoYu this also seemed to be a European product so it's a weird thing to criticise it for
Aka the better looking one.
+BiteSizedChocolate Rainbow > Oooh, lavender.
Yeah and he SHOULD know better.. as a "journalist."
It's called Super Famicom
Now through my experience, this controller is pretty great. It's a versatile controller with a handful of options for those who look for budget controllers. Even more options than some premium controllers
Thank you ! I have been waiting for a review of this controller
I think you went about this ass-backwards. Why would you use the other layouts while playing on the Switch? They're obviously aimed at emulation of these consoles on PC. The Switch compatibility seems like an afterthought (hence the GC analogue triggers).
A controller for PC emulation still has to feel good to play with though, so the only stuff I'd say is irrelevant is about the button and analog trigger compatibility on the Switch, everything else is fine.
This
My exact thoughts on this video.
He did that because this is a switch channel lol
It actually seems the other way around. They're marketing this thing hard as a switch controller. PC support was actually the afterthought
It is both a super Famicom and SNES look. Europe exists.
He's Canadian probs he didn't even know?
Europe doesn't exist smh
@TwisterSanity Joke doesn't work. He's Canadian.
@@Generic8864 Well, I do, and I'm American. I honestly don't know anyone who doesn't know Canada is located in North America.
I appreciate you going directly into the review instead of wasting a lot of time!
Well, with the 10.0 update, you could make it so the A and B buttons on the NES layout as A and B!
in europe the snes was multicolored so it isnt wrong but yea bad controller.
Pardon me if I’m wrong, but I think it correctly states « SNES » layout. I think in Europe, the SNES controller had the colored, convex buttons.
Correction au début : Excuse me if I'm wrong
Tkt c'est normal
I really wouldve liked to habe concave Buttons...
Where did he say they're not SNES buttons? He said they should have used the North American style concave buttons. Are you deaf
The problem is that they just copied the standard desing, instead of using the north american style to make it different
Just as a curiosity thing, it'd be interesting to see if, now that they have the N64 on Switch Online, the N64 faceplate actually would function as fully as a regular N64 controller would. Like, compare this controller to a couple of others, including Nintendo's own N64 controller. See what comes out on top.
This seems useful for hooking up to a raspberry pi or other emulation box style project. The adaptability to 5 console styles is rather convenient. Playing a game on a controller that resembled the one it was designed for is always more enjoyable to me personally
It's still SNES layout. Only America got the weird purple controller. Rest of the world it's called also SNES and have the Famicom layout. But I get your point: from a functional POV it would be nicer to have a another button design instead of only a cosmetic one.
why is it that anytime a snes controller has colored buttons that stick out instead of purple buttons that sink in, youtubers claim they are super famicom style, when there were actually plenty of US nintendo brand controllers with the multicolored buttons in the 90s for the snes, I owned alot of them, and the only purple button controller I EVER owned was the original one I got with the console itself
Good and honest review. Thanks.
I have this controller in my hands, and a lot of this review feels like nitpicks to me. A lot of the issues pointed out really aren't that bad, especially the ridge and plastic differences. The only control style that's really hindered by the ridge is the N64
Actually they are snes buttons only america has the weird purple buttons the rest of the world has colourful buttons on there snes
The entire America continent, not just the USA has the "weird purple buttons".
At least do your fucking research before commenting. North and South America both have the same design, representing just as many gamers as Europe and Japan
Cool controllers, but I'm still waiting on that ALL Controller :P
Fresh
Thanks for the honest review!
Man.
I thought it was a controller that could split in half and be connected to the side of the Switch in portable mode.
Now I want that to exist
Impossible right now.
some company would copy the idea and make a controller that could split in half and be used as half a controller sideways
2:01 SNYC = sync new york city? lol
This is controller is so bad that even its grammar sucks lol😂😂😂

The colorful buttons on the super famicom controller is also present on the European snes.
SOMEONE FINALLY COVERED THIS I LOVE IT
Thanks for showing Rerez, still a cool controller!
When they say SNES layout they were half right, it's the Pal button colors also, if you look at a PAL SNES they have the colored buttons just like the Super Famicom.
That is the European and Japanese version of the SNES layout. America isn't the only country in the world you know
His point was that there was no difference between these Switch and SNES buttons apart from the color. He was saying that, if they wanted to make the SNES buttons feel like they were different, they should have went with the North American design because they feel different to the switch buttons.
he's Canadian
America is a continent
Well, if we're talking bout the button colours that's really accurate, but actually I like the concept of concava/convex buttons North Americans got.
The All Controller is looking good!
"You probably think I suck at it, but I kinda don't?"
PAL regions had the RGBY SNES controllers too
Analog would probably be used on pc
Great review!
I recall seeing a modular PlayStation-style controller that let you move the D-pad, the two analog sticks, and the face buttons around to get your preferred layout. No idea how well it actually worked, but I liked the idea of it and this certainly reminds me of that controller.
As someone who's never been a fan of the DualShock layout, since it makes trying to rest my thumbs on the analog sticks less comfortable, I'd like being able to customize the controller depending on if I'm playing a 2D or 3D game, and if the face button formation or the second stick is more important to the game.
Gonna have to look into if there are any good options for that.
That ridge, edge, looks really unconfortable. I would not get a pad like this.
unconfortable is not a word...down vote
The snes had color buttons too in europe and no it was not called the super famicom here it was called the snes like in the US
i Liket your vídeos . good work broth!!
Oooh, this looks really cool, I Might buy it someday
Admit it you thought the thumbnail was an animorphs edit
7:08 Well, to be fair, the SNES released in Europe and Australia uses the same design as the Super Famicom, so you could say that's still an SNES layout.
The snyc button is my favorite part about this controller.
I hope they realize these problems and release an updated version, because the changable buttons/faceplate is such a good idea.
The SNES buttons are the name as the SNES in Europe
apparently PAL regions don't exist
Just like your imaginary pal. ;P
UK? Never heard of it, probably just a myth.
D. M.
Is it from a fairytale? I live in Canada, the only existing state.
What's a pal. (sorry I don't have friends)
Wishful thinking
i love this controller is very cool to change the type of nintendo controller
Interesting concept!
Anyone else notice that is was the snyc button not the sync button?
6:21 Most 3rd Party controllers analog sticks have large deadzones resulting in snappy movements.
4:17 I like how the thumbsticks are easily accessible unlike the original controllers that require you to use a screwdriver.
Not to mention the sync button is now called the snyc button
That is a snes style that is the design used in europe
Hey Shane, where's that cool controller of yours?
Nice idea , Would love an upgraded version
A good solution to the whole right problem would be simply making a little raise in the extra button sets, like having a ridge cut out on the replaceable buttons, so y'know, it'd try to be flush with the face plate
That's not a SYNC button, that's a SNYC button, very different. You see, SYNC is what you use to connect to the system (just like you'd imagine from a SYNC button) but SNYC is an acronym that stands for "Shit, New York's Cool!" Because they are based in California and not New York.
7:20 : those are indeed Super Nintendo buttons..... EUROPEAN Super Nintendo Buttons....
WHERE DID HE SAY THEYRE NOT SUPER NINTENDO BUTTONS
@@twizz420 7:20
7:00 The Japanese Super Famicom controller (and console and cartridge) design was used for the SNES in Europe.
One big thing that would have improved this is the ability to re-program your controller buttons to act as others, like the N64 C buttons, and NES buttons.
It is the NA SNES one that is the weird one, the rest of the world had that version.
Technically South America had the same version as NA.
No, they didn’t
Being a European, I can say the smooth and slick design... honestly sucks.
The button layout feels cheap on the console, and we don't have those thumb grips on X and Y.
7:00 *That's SNES to me!!!* 😑
I'm from Europe STOP SAYING THE RAINBOW BUTTONS ARE NOT A SNES LAYOUT BECAUSE THEY ARE!
Looked good on the thumbnail. Shame had so much potential
I love those Snyc buttons
I kind of wish that you had reviewed this as a PC controller as well. Your complaint about the analog triggers wouldn't be a problem, for one thing. For another, there's quite an obvious question that you never considered since you only looked at it as a Switch controller: How does the button-mapping work with the face-plates?
For example, let's say that I connected the NES-style piece. Most games with a built-in controller setting can tell which buttons should be the default layout. So, if I were to play something like Shovel Knight on PC, would it recognize the NES buttons appropriately?
This thing has an incredibly obvious use as an emulation controller. Do major emulators recognize it as a separate controller for each style setup, or does it still recognize "A" and "B" as such regardless of which piece is inserted. If I were to set up the button config while in SNES or GC mode for some reason while on an NES emulator, and then later swapped to the NES mode, do "A" and "B" still work correctly since those buttons are still there, or do I need to go back and re-map my buttons again?
Looking at it as a PC controller, we also need to know if those are actual analog triggers, or just normal buttons with a longer travel distance. If I'm playing a game where light pressure does one thing and a full click does something else (common with GameCube games, so still important when emulating as well), does this controller work, or will we need to compromise and assign a separate button as "light touch" and a button for "full click". (This may sound like a stupid thing, but I have actually had this issue with controllers before, so it's actually important.)
I thought Nintendo had patented the whole pop out button module thing before they announced the Switch. Am I crazy??
Edit: Patent Number: US 9,420,404 B2
Maybe they lost the patent?, im aure they expire of you dont keep paying for them
That or this company dosen't care
patents.google.com/patent/US9420404B2/en?oq=US+9%2c420%2c404+B2%EF%BB%BF Nintendo's design implies you have to slide the modules "horizontally", not "vertically" so that's probably the loophole lol
That is too broad of a thing to patent. I thonk theres just invokves the sliding mechanism.
hopefully this is the beginning and not the end and maybe we see this better executed in the future
That's a cute concept
In Europe it’s called super Nintendo and there is thé same buttons.
In every country it's called a super nintendo entertainment system (SNES) in Europe people just call it a super nintendo more than a snes
You're wrong Shane, that is the SNES style, everywhere except the Americas. You're just gonna have to live with that bro
Honestly I really like the concept of it 👀
It may suck but I like the idea behind it
Aren't the back triggers analog so that the pc games can make use of it?
I Clicked as Quickly as possible.. Emio Controllers have always caused problems for me
seems like this one will cause problem as well
I wouldnt buy a thrid party item unless it may be the nyko kickstand which i have no issues yes its a third party but its better than the switch kickstand
@@user-ox3ov2qt5o not for me but it change if so atleast i have a warranty plus we have cloud save so i have most stuff backed up and if warrenty ia out just buy another and save my stuff expect for the kickstand and know next time not to buy it plus i mostly play portable ever since of the dock heating issue of cracking and all that
7:03 Slightly incorrect. That IS actually the SNES layout in the UK and Europe.
Code: Marla and the rest of the pal region
This is very unique and potentially could have been amazing
In their defense, the analog shoulder buttons are pretty useful for those play Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl on the PC in particular, lightshielding
So the idea is sound bu the execution is terrible..... pretty much what I expected from this when I saw it in a EB Games a while back.
9:50 if you were smart enough, you would have noticed that A and B represent different buttons 😑
A is Y; and B is probably X
10:15 "All the other games treat it like that" WRONG. What a lie! Where you clearly put Y as the attack button and haven't set A to any command whatsoever, attacking works when you press A!
7:03 that’s because it is a snes Layout in Europe we still refer to it as the snes and we have the colorful buttons. Even tho North America doesn’t have those buttons it is still the snes style
If it ends up getting a design revision that makes it slightly bigger to accommodate the extra buttons (which hopefully also end up slightly bigger) and get rid of the ridge this could be a great choice as a PC controller for emulation especially if it got some non-nintendo system layouts. It's hard to find a decent controller with 6 face buttons for easy Mega Drive emulation or fighting games.
